When CamelBak announced the new NV back panel system last year, we were a bit taken aback by the design. Instead of using a conventional mesh construction, the California-based company decided to make something new.
The NV back panel consists of pods, for lack of a better word, that are articulated independently to follow the contour of you back in any position. The pods are designed to maximise air flow and are themselves perforated.
CamelBak have released three packs that integrate this new technology: the M.U.L.E. NV 12L, H.A.W.G. NV 14L and the L.U.X.E. NV 8L. All three come with similar features like rain cover, 3L Antidote reservoir and bike tools organiser pockets. Different colours are available.
